Stonehenge: The Strange Ancient Monument

STONEHENGE - GREAT BRITAIN

Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, about 2 miles west of Amesbury and 8 miles north of Salisbury. One of the most famous sites in the world, Stonehenge is the remains of a ring of standing stones set within earthwork

Stonehenge is the UK's most important ancient monument and has been throughout history. It's one of Britain's most important tourist destinations and attracts about 900,000 visitors every year. It was visited by Romans stationed in the region and a Saxon burial on the site confirms that it was seen as a place of religious significance during both the dark and middle ages. The earliest known written reference appears in 937 AD with regard to a land deed from King Athelstan to Wilton Abbey which refers to 'Stanheyeg'. It's near impossible to imagine how Neolithic people managed to build it and rearrange it several times over the millennia. It's important to pagans and druids as a religious site and is at the centre of the British crop-circle phenomenon. Some archaeologists believe it was a temple while others believe that it represented a doorway into the afterlife.

Stonehenge is at the heart of an ancient stone-age complex that is far larger than the monument that can still be seen today.

जहां सड़के गाती हैं: The Musical Roads of the World

दोस्तो आपने कभी सुना है कि सड़क भी गाती हैं? जी हां, सड़के भी गाती हैं। दुनिया में कुछ ऐसी सड़के भी है जो संगीत बजाती हैं। हा यह सच है। कितना अच्छा होगा जब आप एक उबाऊ सफर पर जा रहे हो और अचानक से सड़क पर एक मंत्रमुग्ध कर देने वाला संगीत बजने लगे? सच में यह एक अदभुत अनुभव होगा। दुनिया में कुछ देशों में ऐसा ही प्रयोग किया गया है जहां सड़क पर आडी स्ट्रिप्स बनाई गई हैं जिन पर से अगर कोई वाहन एक निश्चित गती से गुजरता है तो एक मधुर संगीत सुनाई देता है। दरअसल सड़क की उन स्ट्रिप्स के नीचे कुछ ध्वनि उत्पन्न करने वाला यंत्र होता है जो वाहन के वाइब्रेशन को एक मधुर ध्वनि या संगीत में बदल देता हैं। यह ठीक उसी प्रकार कार्य करता है जैसे एक पिआनो यंत्र। अब हम आपको बता रहे हैं कि दुनिया में कहां कहां ऐसी सड़के है। 1. डेनमार्क सड़क-ए-इंस्ट्रूमेंट अवधारणा का आविष्कार 1995 में किया गया था जब दो डेनिश कलाकार "एस्पालटॉप" के साथ आए, फुटपाथ मार्करों को उठाया, जो कि रॉट स्ट्रिप्स की तुलना में बोट्स डॉट्स से अधिक निकटता से संबंधित हैं। 2. नई...
